Identify the location:
13th floor kitchen in Vander Poel Hall

Identify the sounds:

Two guys and two girls (one of them me) laughing and talking about how to guilt future generations (or just any potential children we’d have) and how to explain our methods of guilting to them. At one point one of the guys makes an observation that jokes are funny because there’s nothing funny about them, we just perceive them as funny.
